In this video, we share the journey of starting work at 16, installing boilers by 17, and running the business solo in a van at 18. We also dive into experiences with apprentices—both good and bad. You can often tell which apprentices have potential and truly value you as a mentor.

We discuss why many companies avoid taking on apprentices, fearing they’ll leave once qualified, and the challenges that come with training them. However, when done right, apprenticeships can pay off big if they stay and grow with your business. 💼🔧
